Book Blurb

Jacen is living a lie in a relationship with someone he can't fully love. He's moved away from the one man meant for him, Kayne. Distance doesn't help, though, because his heart can't forget.

Teenage mistakes set Kayne's future, so, with one last kiss goodbye, he's let the man who held his heart--his best friend's younger brother--walk away. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It just confuses matters, especially when Kayne has a young son and soon-to-be ex-wife.

Then Jacen comes home. He's been both physically and mentally abused by his ex-boyfriend. Kayne needs to help find out just who is trying to destroy Jacen's life. Who's to blame--the man responsible for beating Jacen up or Kayne's very own ex, who has hated Jacen since they were teenagers when she'd found out Jacen held Kayne's heart?

Will the mystery enemy destroy them or bring them closer?

First edition published by Silver Publishing in June 2012.

Book Review

Sweet, romantic, and very touching, this story has it all. With two men who fall for each other when they are still kids, but let misunderstandings and fear come between them over the years, there was just enough "will they, will they not" to keep me in suspense. But what made everything come alive for me was the characters and the feelings they shared.

Jacen is in love with Kayne, "the wrong" boy, one who he is certain is straight. He tries to move away, starts another relationship, but nothing helps. When he finally comes home, Kayne has two children and is divorced. Jacen Is determined not to get his hopes up again, and I think that is the main reason he misses all the signs Kayne now gives him.

Kayne was an idiot, but he just didn’t have it in him to admit his feelings for Jacen. Six years later, he is beginning to see he was wrong. But that doesn’t make it easy to admit, or act on, what he is feeling. The way he (and Jacen) had trouble relating to each other and talking about their feelings was pretty realistic, and all I wanted was for them to "wake up" and be honest with each other.

Once they are? It gets back to being very sweet. I loved the romantic ending! If you like stories with misunderstandings and men making assumptions that lead to "romantic catastrophe", if you enjoy sweet stories with kids and a concerned family, and if you're looking for something to make you smile, you will probably like this book.
